Question:

Many Green Builders still use recessed lights - why?

and so many of them?? I know it makes a place look light and welcoming but they are very energy inefficient and contribute to more waste - in money and in landfills as well as electricityOften one switch turns on up to 8 lights! Don't they realize it's wasteful? What about more skylights and tubelights instead?Am also wondering if they can be dangerous next to insulation in the attic?

Answer:

i want to buildan animal shelter that will help any animal regardless of if it's wild or not.and regardless of if people have the money to pay for it.

A civilization on another planet + an intergalactic space vehicle to get from here to there and vice versa.
I would build a great big Palace beside a nice lake and in the forest.
Just a trend - and recessed lights are currently trendyWhat sort of light ? The Halogens were popular, get very hot - which is wasted energy - and if the ceiling insulation falls too close - then you burn the house downIf you WORK UNDER A HALOGEN light - wear sun screen and sun glasses - they are mini 'suns'Next came the CFL - or fluorescent modern version -with over 40 parts built in - to replace the simple filament of a tungsten light, and you need heaps of them to get the 'power and illumination' where you need itCFLs will go down as one of the greatest scam and cons ever to hit the world of lighting in AustraliaWARNING: IF YOU BREAK A CFL LIGHT - vacate the room untill the gas disperses - Mercury gas is a killer and brain destroyerThese are now replaced by LEDs - a much cooler option, and solid state lighting - but a 'hard' light on the eyesSky and tube lights are expensive after the house is built, and before, the builder cuts costs and things like tube lights - untill the 'trend' catches up.
